Pros

*training is offered and you always can request pieces of training that you think you need for a better understanding and operation of your daily tasks.

Cons

*Hourly rate scale is only for an untouched goal, at least a year not getting any pay raise; when asked why, manager gave a reason that is not under teachers' control (enrollment)

Pros

It should be noted that most who work at Catalyst Kids/Catalyst Family measure their tenure in decades. The mission of compassionately serving the children of California carries directly into the staff and how they are supported. As a nonprofit, it pays above competitive rates and offers opportunities for career advancement. It welcomes flexibility and is Statewide, allowing for movement within the organization throughout the State.

Cons

The downsides are limited but, covering the entire State, it can be difficult to find opportunities to meet with fellow staff members.
